Implementing a ‘Super-Highway’ in the Sky Provides Better Service and Coverage

In the 21st century, the technology sector will continue to grow and own the largest “piece of the economic pie.” The technology industry with its ongoing development of new products, services, and systems impact both our professional and personal lives. Let’s face it, virtually everything we do is controlled by computers and programs. Unfortunately, when discussing new hardware, systems, servers, and programs, the one thing that stands out is the cost of the equipment as well as its implementation for practical use.

However, the advantage of superior technology is it should deliver more efficiencies not only in overall service but cost. One company that many across the globe in the technology segment and public are watching to deliver better service with cost efficiencies is Airborne Wireless Network (AWN). Setting a new standard in broadband service, Airborne Wireless Network is not only going further than other current technology companies, but are also transforming their concept into a reality by offering one highly important advantage to the market: computer hardware and service for the broadband market that is easy to install and implement for the service partners.

Airborne Wireless Network is creating a virtual worldwide web, using commercial airplanes to do all the work. Unlike today, the single link systems that use traditional cell-towers and satellite systems for broadband, this “new” network will have no points of failure, the proverbial “dropped call or WIFI”, being that there is always another airplane, ship or earth-station within range of another to “carry” the single. This means instead of “one point” of contact for service, there will be multiple points of contact for a more efficient and reliable broadband experience.

Airborne Wireless Network designed their hardware to be lightweight and simple to install on both aircraft and in ground stations making it an easy product for service partners to actually implement and maintain. Basically, a modular system installed in an aircraft for example and if the unit were to have an issue, it is a “pull and replace” the module step with ease to have the system operational once again. This is a perfect recipe, so to speak for service partners and consumers: A broadband system with emphasis in reducing costs, offering stability, enhanced service and making sure the worldwide web can be up-and-running and stay that way without the roadblocks that come with the current single-link system.

Using commercial aircraft as “mini-satellites” is not as difficult as it may sound. A single-path network has only one way for a signal to reach an aircraft. If this path is interrupted, the system fails. With the Airborne Wireless Network, by linking commercial aircraft in flight, each plane participating will act as an airborne repeater or router, sending and receiving broadband signals from one aircraft to the next, thus creating a digital information super-highway in the sky. Both coverage and uninterrupted connectivity will offer internet service providers as well as telephone companies a wholesale carrier that does not fail, plus is far more effective and efficient.

Simplicity of installation has always been just an ‘idea’ in the technology industry. After all, currently the world’s connectivity is achieved by use of undersea cables, ground-based fiber, and satellites that take quite of bit of money to install. This digital highway, however, is quite easy and once completed, will provide low cost, high-speed connectivity to a wealth of areas around the world that have never yet experienced this ability. Everywhere, from rural areas to island nations, ships at sea, oil platforms, and more will have the ability to have a functional broadband network. Talk about expanding the “world-wide web”!

Because of the many communication paths, the system will use, a fully “meshed network “will be formed allowing signals to be received from multiple directions. The system will route signals around any “obstructions” and “real-time connectivity” will be maintained. Besides mechanical problems that occur with satellites and fixed-point ground stations, such as weather systems that can completely block a radio signal, Airborne Wireless Network provides a solid, unbreakable path and is easily implemented in both ground stations, as well as the participating aircraft.

Airborne Wireless Network has definitely created a more efficient ‘Super-Highway’ that offers massive advantages for partners and consumers. There is no doubt, Airborne Wireless Network has a path to be up-and-running and setting a new “technology” standard in the sky.

The outdoor enthusiast finally has a rugged, waterproof option when it comes to high-quality stereo sound. With built-in Bluetooth audio streaming, AM/FM radio and USB audio playback, STEREOACTIVE is packed with features. Engineered in New Zealand, the new compact system is designed for the challenges of life on the water or exposure to the elements and tuned to deliver crystal clear audio that enhances any activity. Featuring the unique Puck mount system, users can easily and securely attach the stereo to any surface, such as an RV exterior, cooler, outdoor cooking space, paddleboard, kayak, canoe, boat or even hot tub. To keep valuables safe from the elements, FUSION has also offered the ACTIVESAFE which, when combined with STEREOACTIVE, will securely house any smartphone, vehicle keys, bank cards, or loose change.

Virtually every angler on the water these days is well aware that boat docks hold bass throughout the year. However, not all anglers approach dock fishing with the correct tackle and strategy to make the most of their time on the water. Fine-tuning your approach by reaching all fish-holding zones and identifying patterns can definitely lead to higher catch rates and bigger fish. Read More…

Live bait rigged to stay on or near the surface is enticing as well. Predators push bait to the top during an attack, so a nervous morsel suspended under a kite, balloon or cork is always easy pickings. Baits hooked through the nose, or dorsal fin will stay near the surface whereas those hooked in the stomach or lower tail tend to swim downward. Trolled baits and lures serve the same purpose. The combination of splashing and bubbles, often in conjunction with teasers, help draw the game fish into the surface strike zone Read More…
